So I got lost getting to the Zen temple the other day, so that trip went out the window. With nothing better to do at the moment I decided that walking around Kyoto for the day, granted in the rain, was the best option for the moment. There will eventually be some interesting pictures up of that, but have to upgrade my flickr first for more pictures (seeing I reached my upload limit). Also now can proudly say I know all my hiragana.
Sunday was sleep and tiredness raking its claws over me, like the dry soil of a Pennsylvania farm.
Anyway on to more exciting adventures and stories, after classes on monday I met one of the students who used to live with my host family. She was traveling before Grad school and came to visit. Overall, she seems nice. Though best part of the night not hoping to be reminded of the takoyaki we had for dinner was watching this delightful movie "Water Boys" (ウォーターボーイズ). Odd and funny as it shows these 5 boys who signed up for a swim team at school only find out it was synchro (synchronized swimming). So they go through the motions of learning, failing, etc all with wonderfully interesting characters like the dolphin trainer, the two drag queens, the martial artist love interest and the gay character who I only bring up because he looks like a young Bruce. Good movie, go see it.
